    3 monkeys sat in a coconut tree
    Discussing things as they're said to be
    Said 1 to the others "Now listen, you 2
    theres a certain rumor that can't be true,
    that man descended from our noble race.
    That very idea is a disgrace.

    No monkey ever deserted his wife
    Starved her babies or ruined her life.
    And another thing u will never see
    A monk build a fence around a coconut tree
    And let the coconuts go to waste,
    Forbidding all other monks to taste.

    If I put up a fence around this tree
    Starvation would force you to steal from me.
    Heres another thing a monk wouldn't do,
    Go out at night and put on a stew,
    And use a gun or a club or a knife
    To take some other monkey's life.
    Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss-
    But brother, he didn't descend from us.

    Interesting and clever, even though I don't like this rhyming style.
